I would eat them now. The damage is where they will begin to decay. They may last a while but eventually they will go.

I have just picked 100 kilos oj Ashmead's Kernel. They now need sorting into keepers and chuckers. The trouble; is there as more on the tree than I have picked, but no where to keep that many and no use for them either. Sad.

And sadly they do dig for and eat bulbs. We lost over 1,000 tulips to them this year. Badgers do a lot of damage and it is hard to stop them coming in. You need to find where they are coming in and block it off.
